Our highly qualified team will be happy to offer you advice on current men’s hair trends and which one would best suit you.

Our stylists will consider your face shape, hair type and lifestyle when talking with you – the importance of face shape can’t be overlooked and should be one of the main influences when selecting your style. Find out what type of face shape you have below…

Men’s Face Shapes

Oval: If you have an oval shaped face then lucky you! Oval faces suit nearly all hair styles because of their proportions and symmetry. Avoid full length fringes as they can make your oval face look round.

Square: Traditionally perceived as a strong rugged face shape. Softer styles are best to balance square faces and again, full length heavy fringes are not recommended.

Oblong: This face shape suits the vast majority of styles, however there are some ‘no-nos’. Try to avoid short hair on the sides or swept back hair on top as this will make your face look long

Round: Round faces tend to be hard to choose hair styles for – they tend to lack in strong features and so you do not want hair that will detract too strongly from your face. Try to avoid hair coming onto the face as this will only make it look rounder.

Diamond: Men with diamond face shaped sometimes tend to look gaunt – in order to avoid this we recommend longer hair with some shape around the face.

Heart: A longer hair style will balance a heart shaped face. If you would like a shorter style then we would recommend perhaps growing some facial hair even the face.

Triangle: This is the hardest face shape to choose a style for. In order to balance a wide jaw line we recommend long hair with plenty of layers.
